    It looks real good. Your choice of the leather parts is great. I also love my air vents in leather . Very nice option, but I forgot to do the PDK part in leather on mine...

    Porsche call's metallic black "Basalt" in the states (AFAIK, they still do), is the paint called "metallic black" by Porsche in  Portugal?

    It was four year ago and I was thrilled on that day. Car still looks new and has now 39500Km Actually I can´t understand how I made some many km in four years cause I live 8 months per year out of Portugal where the car is and I have also a Range Rover Vogue which is my DD. Anyway made some memorable trips with this car to the Alps for snow and many trips to Spain so part of those are justify. From 2009 till now I have to say the car is much better, I put the PSE + Sharkworks by pass in 2011, the PDK paddles steering wheel, bought an hartop in 2010 and drop the suspension just a tiny bit. This little mods gave a new character to the beast, specially the PDK paddles together with the PSE+SW by pass, I just love it.

    The bug to buy a new toy is here, but I believe I wont sell my black beauty Smiley, will just add another toy to the garage, an exotic would make a nice pair with the 911 Smiley
